I am very sorry for your loss. It is my hope that Carlene’s family and friends may find comfort in our promised future.
John 5:28, 29 assures us that the ones we have lost to the common enemy of death WILL hear Jesus’ voice and come out of the memorial tomb. And Revelation 21:4 promises that we will never have to experience the pain of loss ever again. These things are made possible only by means of Jesus’ great sacrifice of giving his own perfect life for our behalf. – Matthew 20:28

They say with age comes wisdom. Well speaking for myself I’m not sure.😄 What I have found that comes with age is “friendship ” with my dear friend. This is something Carlene and I came about with time and through talks about our lives: being spouses, mothers and grandmothers. We shared much more that was heartfelt. I will miss those talks. Love you and those memories, Diane M
